What is the maximum number of partitions required to dual-boot Windows XP and Windows Vista?

The minimum number of partitions needed to dual boot windows xp and windows vista is actually 2, one for each operating system. However, if your computer was bought and it already had one of those two systems preinstalled and with it a separate windows recovery partition as well as a system reserved partition, then your minimum in that case would be 4 priamry partitions (which also happens to be the maximum allowed if you are using strictly primary partitions. One way to have more than 4 primary partitions is to have one of those partitions become an extended partition which can in turn have as many partitions as you need. I hope that wasn't too confusing

How many partitions minimum does Linux require?

It should have the same limitations as any other operating system if you solely work with physical volumes - 4 primary partitions on MBR, unlimited on GPT (though Windows will limit it to 128). Otherwise, if you use something like LVM, it would be unlimited logical partitions, across a single disk or multiple disks.


Why would you use extended partitions instead of addtional primary partitions?

There's a limit to the number of primary partitions per drive, 4. In order to get more than 4 drives out of one (if this takes your fancy) then you use an extended partition. To a low level program which doesnt speak fluent windows, everything on your extended partition appear as a single drive. Other than this their is no real advantage to extended partitions over primary partitions, but at windows level no significant disadvantage either
